The growing global demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has positioned Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs) as one of the most strategic solutions for delivering flexible, cost-effective, and reliable gas import infrastructure. As FSRU projects become increasingly complex, professionals involved in project development, asset management, operations, commercial management, and engineering must possess a comprehensive understanding of the technical, commercial, contractual, financial, and regulatory aspects that govern successful FSRU deployment and operation.
The Advanced FSRU Project Development, Commercial, Contractual & Asset Management course has been designed to provide participants with an integrated understanding of the complete FSRU project lifecycle. The programme combines technical engineering principles with commercial project development, contractual frameworks, asset lifecycle management, operational excellence, risk management, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision-making.
Throughout this intensive programme, participants will examine LNG value chains, FSRU technologies, commercial project structures, financing models, charter arrangements, operational strategies, asset management frameworks, lifecycle optimisation, performance guarantees, and international best practices. Practical engineering discussions and real-world case studies will enable participants to confidently support and manage modern FSRU projects from concept through long-term operation.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand LNG and FSRU technologies and their role within global energy infrastructure.
• Evaluate different FSRU project structures and commercial business models.
• Analyse technical, operational, commercial, and contractual risks.
• Understand Time Charter Party (TCP), Bareboat Charter (BBC), Operations & Maintenance (O&M), LNG Sale & Purchase Agreements (SPA), and Terminal Use Agreements (TUA).
